Please share this alert with Legislative Liaisons, Club Members, and
Responsible Dog Owners in Rhode Island.
Yesterday, the Rhode Island House Health and Human Services Committee favorably
released an amended H.7021, which would allow emergency care and transportation
for a police dog injured in the line of duty. Changes to the bill ensure all
stakeholders are included in the development of policies and procedures for the
humane transportation of these special canines, including training of personnel
in basic level first aid.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) values the contribution these working and
detection dogs make, and the important role they play, in protecting the peace
and security of individuals and communities. We are grateful to the Rhode
Island residents who contacted the committee in support! Our February alert
with all the details is here.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Rhode Island residents are now encouraged to email their state representative
requesting support for H.7021 as amended.
1. Find your member of the House of Representatives and their contact
information at this website.
2. Indicate your name and town, asking for support of H.7021 in your message.
AKC Government Relations will continue to monitor H.7021 for progress. For
more information on this or other legislative issues in Rhode Island, contact
AKC Government Relations at 919-816-3720 or doglaw@xxxxxxx.
